Creative Development

We have developed Story Planner Tools based on author comments that tools integrated into Microsoft Word would be most helpful. As an Add-in, the features of Story Planner Tools show up as a new ribbon in Word 2007 through Word in Microsoft 365. While developed for authors, any writer may use the parsing tool to improve their works. For an indepth description of Story Planner Tools, check out the documentation.

New as of August 2021:
  • Synonyms--Changes in Thesaurus HTML resulted in extraction of only one set of synonyms from www.thesaurus.com. Now all sets are retrieved.
  • Body Language - Added more Body Language descriptions.

Here's an overview of what Story Planner Tools provides:
  • Writing is emotion. Samples of showing various emotions are but two clicks away.
  • Emotions of secondary characters are shown through body language. As with Emotions, Body Language examples are two clicks away.
  • Eight character archetypes are described to help the author layout the story.
  • To be realistic, a character with certain aberrant behavior should conform to known mental disorders. A list of these is also only two clicks away.
  • From story and plot, to passion and conflict, the necessary elements of any creative literary work are described.
  • The Parse form provides a range of tools that look for common syntax and grammar issues. The author can even define his/her own analysis buttons. 
  • Choose from a variety of story structure Word templates (Mythic, Rollercoaster, and 3 Act) upon which to build your story.
  • Download Story Planner Tools Word Addin for free and purchase for $25 only after you are convinced you want it.
